- Published: 23 November 2021
IPPN has been consistently advocating for additional capacity to be made available to the system to alleviate the current, chronic shortage of substitute teachers. On foot of those representations and those of the other education partners, further measures to alleviate the substitute shortage have been announced this evening.
An email has been sent to all schools by the DE with an information note attached - click here to view. IPPN will continue to represent the voice of school leaders on this issue to ensure continuity of educational provision to children.
